What I Fix On A House Call
The everyday repairs that keep a car reliable, done where it's parked.

What Knoxville Drivers Say
I've used Marsden for every car in the family for six years. He tells you what actually needs doing now and what can wait, and he's never once tried to sell me something I didn't need. It's like having a mechanic in the family.
My 1987 pickup wouldn't start and no shop wanted to touch it. Marsden came out, traced it to a corroded ground wire, and had it running in an hour.
Brakes done in my driveway on a Saturday morning while I made breakfast. Clear quote, tidy work, fair price.
Before Your Visit
Where I Work
Driveways, garages, office lots and quiet streets. Apartment lots are fine with the manager's okay.
What I Don't Do
Transmission rebuilds and major engine work need a lift. I'll tell you honestly and recommend a shop.
How You Pay
Card, check or cash when the work is done. Invoices are emailed the same day.
Mobile Mechanic FAQ
How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Knoxville?
Most repairs cost about what a good independent shop charges, without the tow. A diagnostic visit starts at $90 and is credited to the repair if you go ahead. You get the full price before any work starts.
How soon can you come?
Usually within two or three days, sooner for no-starts when I can fit them in.
Which areas do you cover?
Knoxville and Knox County, plus Maryville and Powell. Farther out, ask and I'll tell you honestly whether I can get there.
Do you work on older cars?
Yes. Older and classic cars are a specialty, including carburetors and points ignition.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as I can reach the car and the keys. I'll text when I arrive and when it's done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Parts and labor are covered for 12 months.
